The piece is more about showing the friendship of the two women than showing any sort of plot. This could go any direction. My original idea was that child was abandoned by a customer, either on purpose or by accident. There are lots of other possibilities. Thanks for reading!

I feel there is a mystery left… it left me wondering… There is a big mystery is “a child” rather than a specific child: It becomes more like a beginning of a larger story. The description of May and Joy is great, and the “Henry Fixed” gave me big smile.

I also like the idea of ‘Henry fixed’ but you had me guessing at the end, how that fixing made the child wail from the back, where Joy was earlier, maybe the ring of the cash register…? LOL. Until I read the comments. The interaction is great.
